MY LONGEST CHAPTER EVER BE PROUD! Sorry I'm just amazed that I've been able to write something over 1000 words, it's a miracle honestly!
"You're going away for three months, are you mad? What about Kate? She's pregnant with your child Castle and you're abandoning her! How heartless can you be?" Lanie hissed as she stood in the living room staring at the other couple, Esposito's arm wrapped around her. "Richard Castle I can't believe you'd even think about leaving her on her own at this time" Lanie announced quickly, not allowing either Rick or Kate to speak. Once she finally had silenced to catch her breath, Kate sighed before smiling at her friend.
"I told him he could go Lanie, he's got my permission it's not like he's disappearing without even telling me" she explained quickly as Lanie raised her eyebrows, although not completely surprised that Kate had allowed him to leave her. "And I actually wanted to ask you something and you can say no but Rick won't leave unless I've asked".
"What is it then Kate? You're starting to worry me" Lanie quickly asked as Rick smiled and stood behind his fiancée, resting his hands on her bump as she smiled.
"I was wondering if you would stay with Kate while I'm gone, I'd feel better if Kate had someone with her and having someone with a medical knowledge puts my mind to rest a little" he explained as Lanie quickly nodded before turning to look at Esposito. "Esposito can stay too if he wants as long you both behave yourselves?" Rick added as Lanie smiled and turned to look at the man who was stood silently behind her.
"Then we'll do it and Esposito you don't get a say in the matter because you love me and will do anything to make me happy" Lanie declared before Kate smiled and wrapped her arms around her friends neck. "So I'm going to be living in the Castle apartment for three months, that's amazing, I never thought I'd be this lucky" she cheered before Kate rolled her eyes and laughed. She'd been just as excited when she'd moved in with him when they'd returned from the Hamptons together after everything with Demming.
"Yeah with me, Esposito, Alexis and Martha on occasion, be prepared for a never silent place Lanie" Kate explained as Rick smiled. "At least Rick won't be here, he's the loudest of the group" she giggled as he wrapped his arms tighter around her and kissed her neck slowly, another giggle slipping from her lips as she stood there in his arms. Richard Castle had changed her but she didn't care anymore because she was no longer afraid of the change that had once terrified her into hiding. "So where's Ryan tonight?" she asked quickly.
"Jenny's parents are in town so they've gone out for dinner together, he honestly would rather be here but he won't admit that to anyone" Esposito explained as she quickly nodded at him and groaned, her hands slipping to stomach quickly. "Beckett are you alright?" he asked.
"Yeah someone's starting to get hungry" she laughed as Rick laughed at her, smiling down at where her hands were resting on her stomach. "I don't see what you're finding funny here Richard" she commented as he sighed and rested his hand slowly on hers.
"Kate you always say it's the baby whose hungry when actually you're starving, I just find it amusing" he explained as she nodded and began to walk into the kitchen, bringing out of the boxes of Chinese that arrived around the same time as Lanie and Esposito.
"You can all stand there if you want but if you want anything to eat I would start having some now, I'm starving and nothing is going to stop me unless I am completely full" she explained before sitting herself down and groaning.
"And we've agreed to live with her for three months, we're going to leave here size zero at this rate" Esposito quickly commented, gaining a laugh from Rick and two glares from Kate and Lanie who hit him gently before sitting herself down next to her friend. "Sorry I was joking Beckett" he quickly apologized as she nodded at him.
"I forgive you this once Esposito, I won't the next time" Kate quickly announced as he nodded, taking in her warning.
"You're lucky, she never forgives me when I'm naughty" Rick moaned, Kate's eyes rolling in response as everyone laughed at them. There was one thing that Lanie and Esposito both agreed on and that was the fact they had always been right when they agreed that Kate and Rick were perfect for each other.
XOXOXOXO
"Kate where are you going?" he asked after Lanie and Esposito had left and they were finally alone. "Bedroom is that way" he sighed as she turned to him and smiled.
"I need to sort the spare bedroom out, there staying from tomorrow and I want it sorted before they arrive so I thought I'd do it now while I'm thinking about it" she announced before entering the spare bedroom and sighing. Still some of the boxes from her old apartment filled the room and she knew at some point she'd have to unpack them but all she could think about was how much of a mess Rick had left the room in when he'd decided to have a twenty four hour indoor camp out. "Actually Rick, you can sort of the bedroom out, I'm going for a bath" she commented as he walked into the room and groaned.
"Not fair, you know how much I like being there when you have a bath" he laughed, wrapping his arms around her quickly while she rolled her eyes quickly. "Fine, I'll do the bedroom but it's nice that it's our last night together for three months and your making me spend it cleaning the spare bedroom".
"That'll teach you to not clean up after you've made a mess" she commented quickly before leaving the room, a smile appearing onto her face as she heard him hissing something in the room, the sound of his childish moans causing her to look down at her stomach and shake her head slowly. "Are you going to be more mature than your father?" she asked quickly as she placed a hand on her increasing bump and smiled. "I think you will be but don't tell him that, he's desperate to be respected as a mature adult by someone" she laughed before slipping into the bathroom and sighing at the collection of cherry scented soaps and oils that filled the room.
XOXOXOXO
Slipping into their bedroom, he smiled as he saw her sat on their bed, brushing her hair, her free hand resting once more on the bump which her hand was becoming so familiar with.
"I'm going to miss this" he commented while he continued to watch her. "We haven't spent that long apart since the summer when I went to the Hamptons with Gina" he declared as she slowly nodding, feeling him move towards her slowly and sit himself behind her. "I'm going to miss you" he mumbled onto her neck before kissing it slowly, a smile appearing onto her face as she grabbed his hands and clung to them.
"Call me every night, no matter the time or the place" she announced. "Call me when you wake up and when you go to bed and a couple of times in between that actually" she declared quickly, a laugh slipping from his lips as she sighed and rested back against him, her eyes shutting slowly. "God when did I get this clingy?" she asked.
"Since you decided to actually let me completely in" he whispered into her ear before she smiled. "God Kate, I can't imagine going to bed without you, it's going to be cold and lonely" he declared quickly as she nodded slowly, turning her head so she could kiss him slowly. Relaxing in his arms, she sighed as he continued to hold her for a while. "Three months".
"Three months" she sighed, allowing him to lie her down on the bed and kneel beside her. "What are you doing Rick?" she asked before he smiled and pushed her pyjama top up slightly. "Rick" she smiled, watching him kiss her stomach slowly.
"You be good for your mummy when I'm gone, no keeping her up at ridiculous times at night, she needs her sleep or she goes all angry and scary" he announced onto her stomach, Kate's hand hitting him gently as he laughed and laid down beside her, his fingers running down the side of her face slowly. "And If Lanie and Esposito start doing things they shouldn't be doing call me and I'll come and remove them from the property" he added.
"Rick, their adults, their allowed to do certain things" she smiled as he turned to look at her. "It's not like we don't do it is it?".
"I know but we live here, their just guests" he declared as she rolled her eyes and smiled at him. "If they do anything you don't feel comfortable with, just call me and I will have them removed as quick as you can say Richard Castle is the best writer ever".
"Who says that you're the best writer ever?" she asked quickly as he rolled onto his side and looked down at her, his fingers running up her chest slowly.
"The woman, who bought every one of my books, has written little notes in the corners and has my website saved to her favourites" he laughed as she hit him gently. "What? I'm a writer I need to check that my future wife isn't cheating on me with some other novelist".
"Richard Castle I would never cheat on you with another author, you're still in my top twenty" she laughed as he stared at her, glaring down at her with a frown on his face. "Okay top ten" she announced simply, the frown getting worse. "Okay Rick, you're my number one and you know it, why I have to admit that to you every time you get nervous about me cheating I don't know" she laughed.
"I just don't like it when you come home from those bookshops with other peoples books Kate, I get jealous that someone else is getting my beautiful wives attention and isn't me" he explained as she shook her quickly and turned to face him, her hand resting slowly on his cheek.
"Richard Castle you're the only author for me and the only man for me" she declared simply before kissing him. "Now can we change the conversation? I want to spend my last night with my fiancé doing more than just arguing" she commented, her hand running down his chest slowly as he raised his eyebrows, a smile covering both their face as she winked at him. "And there are a lot of ways that we can spend it".
"I can think of something extremely enjoyable we can do Kate" he commented before kissing her, a smile covering both their faces as he gently laid her beneath him and kissed her neck slowly, a smile covering her face as she sighed.
